Comments made on the Journal! AJFNS

What a great job you are doing! Why am I not surprised? Please keep it up. Very best personal regards.

Congratulations to you for doing a very good job. I have started spreading news about the journal on my way back home. I am not very good in English but I am trying to get people who can help with me. I will give more news later. Meeting you as a very active African woman leader reinforces my believe in working hard to contribute efficiently to give a better image to our motherland THE BIG AFRICA. I wish that we have millions of "Rut K. Oniang". This means that we have to work hard to generate more young leaders through a mentoring program. So, I want you to be my mentor, and the one of many other girls.

Congratulations for the timely release of the 3rd issue of AJFNS. More importantly, I congratulate you for having attracted more partners, especially the donors. One of the factors inhibiting research work in Africa is funding, and with these inroads AJFNS has realized, I am very optimistic, fundamental results will be realized."Any long journey has to have a first stride". I wish you the very best

May I add my voice and say Congratulations, on the launch of the AJFNS. Once again, you have done us all proud with another first. I thank you too for being an inspiration to many, particularly among us womenfolk, who desperately need to see and be inspired by role models like yourself.
God bless you and the very best with the Journal.

I write to congratulate you on the AJFNS. I would recommend greater emphasis on program implementation and evaluation. Too many programs are implemented and their outcomes rarely shared so that others can benefit. The problems that plague developing countries will not be overcome with models, but only with shared experiences of what worked, what didn't work and why. Keep moving right along.

Congratulations again for an incredible success story in producing a prestigious journal at a low cost. The journal issues are exceptionally good. The authors are known scientists at the international level. It is well balanced and very useful to the readership. In my opinion more support should be given you and your staff in continuing the efforts you have initiated. The scientific articles and journalistic professionalism and the promptness publications required are commendable.

I wish to congratulate dedicated people like you, who have succeeded in accomplishing such fantastic results. Bravo.
Cheers and buona fortuna

Congratulations on embarking on the publication of AJFNS, something that is really needed. I wish you all the best in the future and will remind my graduate students of this as an option for publication.
In the meantime please sign me up as a member.

Now I have finished the March 2002 issue and continue to be impressed .I'm amazed at how quickly you were able to edit and distribute it, so that even the recent SCN meeting is referred to in articles!

It is also great to read about the past and planned nutrition meetings etc in Africa and elsewhere.

I am pleased to inform you that the AJFNS website has been linked to FAO's ESN (Food and Nutrition Division) website 2 weeks ago. Please have our congratulation and admiration for your leadership and untiring efforts to publish this journal as well as other activities you have engaged.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

As a Kenyan, little have I known how this area of study is of great importance, especially in this era in which many Africans are malnourished due to poverty and lack of information on food security and nutrition. The ideas and views shared in the AJFNS have, for one, encouraged a lot. I have been refueled and transported to a destination of open-mindedness and ideologies, which have always remained remote and in the background of my and many people's minds, especially the ones like me who serve in the everbusy Police Force of Kenya and even other sectors.

In my opinion, it is an understatement for the Editor's note that AJFNS is just but a "crawling baby", I second Joseph Mutuku's comment from the students' corner, with his astounding confidence on the quality and keen scrutiny the journal was subjected to. The views shared in your Vol.2 No 1 authentically become a great medicine to an already ailing African community at large. The crawling baby journal turns out to be a baby with a difference as soon as you turn over the pages! As I write, my attention is immediately drawn to Dr. Hans Schoeneberger's and Thoralf Schulze's contributions published in the March 2002 issue, which expounded on sustainability of resources and the most likely negative effects of Germany's New Agrarian policy on developing countries, measures of which, if taken, would ensure a non-discriminatory setting at the global level.

Many other contributors on policies and research in this journal inject hope for developments around the world and particularly my continent, Africa. AJFNS is really an exponent collection of professional ideas and views on food security and nutrition from across and beyond the boundaries of Africa. An admirable journal, a quality journal full of ideologies which are operational with practical methods quite applicable in our African continent as we strive to eradicate poverty.

I believe this journal will soon fly to the top of the list of African journals that not only broaden and open up avenues, but amongst those that will make things happen on the field of nutrition, food security and poverty reduction in the continent. Fellow readers, let us not just go through these flavored constructive ideas and views shared in the AJFNS but instead consistently put into practice the ideologies; and lift the drooping eye lids of the African people, majority of whom languish in poverty.

As an officer involved in crime prevention, I see light at the end of the tunnel and a strong connection of fighting crime in Africa as we fight poverty in unity, and uplift the poor and poverty stricken lot. I hardly see criminals in a well fed African people: instead I see a rejuvenation of our failing and falling agricultural sector, a conversion of African countries en masse into a tourist destination, as security improves. In essence, a stable economy in Africa at large as emphasis is laid on this crucial field of nutrition and food security.

We all need to embrace the field of Food Science and Nutrition regardless of where we are and what we do.
